Nope. it's common knowledge for those who have actual I.T experience
beyond that of pulling cable and/or working a help desk position.

I already wasted the time on several occasions explaining how this
works to David Brooks. If you're actually interested in those
details, nothing is stopping you from a usenet search. It wouldn't
hurt you to, umm, make some effort to learn something on your own for
once, instead of being a lazy ****.

Various protection is in place to prevent any data from being
released to unauthorized individuals in the unlikely event of a
security breach remotely, or a localized one via some kind of
raid.

Funny how anyone can get all the HHI stuff on Piratebay....

You have a real and serious problem understanding written english.
Piratebay doesn't provide anyone access to any HHI servers, gear, nfo
templates or anything else that's directly related to the group.

Those are not things the 'public' has or can get access to, since
it's not released outside of the group. You'd have to resort to
trying to locate and hack into one or more of our servers.

In other words, raiding a member, taking all of his/her gear and
processing it will provide you nothing of value to be used
against the individual or the group itself. Likewise if you
somehow managed to locate and breach (atleast you thought you
did) one of our network entry points. You'd quickly be discovered
and at no time would you have any 'real' access to anything of
value. OTH, I do hope you took necessary precautions to protect
yourself from, heh, unwanted, large amounts of bandwidth capable
retaliation, full on, blackhat style.

We aren't called Happy Hacker Industries for ****s and giggles.

No, you're hardened criminals who take revenge on people for a
laugh, you're no better than gun-toting arseholes that shoot
people for kicks. Oh wait, you ARE one of those! You belong to a
rifle club! You're a ****ing murderer that belongs in the wild
west. Do grow up and join modern society.

You really need to put more effort into your bat**** crazy replies.
That's three times now where your reply to something I wrote makes no
sense whatosever, all in the same post no less.

Half the world copies music for free. And
you helped us all out with your HHI torrents.

If you're thankful for the service we provide at great cost,
please assist us by telling others about the evils of the RIAA
and encourage them to directly support the artists they enjoy.

I don't support the RIAA or the artists.

Why are you trying to participate in this discussion then?

I use altopia, which has excellent retention and I can get
months even years of binaries from every other group. The only
possibility is I've been in that group before (it must have been
months ago as I can't remember it), and deleted what was there
at the time. But there should be stuff form the last few months
at least. Yet there isn't. I very much doubt my newsserver
somehow managed to lose every single post except the very one

I'm still able to pull a total of seven headers from es for that

A whole 7! Most binary groups have many hundreds of thousands.

That's the other one that you claimed doesn't exist. G it's

A whole year ago. Altopia claims 162 days for binaries. I don't
need more than that.

Heh. 162 days isn't even a single year. So much for that years of
retention and you very much doubting your news server lost seven
posts the one I use managed to retain. You were talking ****e.

I wasn't aware hpavc was country specific...Whatever your eleven
years experience actually is, it's NOT what I'd consider I.T to
be, based on your posts...You seem to be seriously lacking in
even basic information for the experience you claimed to have in
the field of I.T.

I have IT support experience, not teenage hacking into other
people's networks experience.

You have the equivalent of help desk and cable pulling experience is
what you have. The stuff that's usually reserved for non paid high
school kids and/or non paid newbie interns. An entry level position.
What a kid interested in computers might do for a summer to get a
better idea of the types of work involved in the field and some hands
on experience. Those who take it seriously tend to move beyond that
and go into more specific aspects of it.

You really do come across as someone who hasn't grown up yet.

If you thought I gave a **** what you think of me, or how I act,
think again.

I knew people like you about 20 years ago.

No, you didn't. People like me wouldn't have spent more than a few
minutes talking to you before they decided you should just **** off
and leave them be. I didn't have time for stupid twenty years ago. I
don't have time for it now.

You're my age, right?

I have no idea how old you are. I don't care. It's none of my
business.

You're not actually a teenager?

Your math skills seem to be as bad as your I.T knowledge.

Because you come across as one.

Ok. Again, do you really think your opinion matters to me? Would you
like to know what my opinion of how you come across actually is?

It's the reason the rich get rich, by haggling. If you pay the
price quoted, you get poor. When I take my car to the garage, I
don't accept the £400 bill. I reject what they want to do, tell
them what I want done, and provide the parts for them, that way
they can't rip me off with markup. They get the labour fee and
nothing else.

Hey, that's fine with me. So long as you understand that you'll
pay me for doing exactly what YOU told me to do, whether it works
or not.

On the other hand, if you let me diagnose it and perform the fix
I recommended, I'm responsible for the results. If you decide to
diagnose it and you're wrong, you're still going to pay me for my
time even if it's worse off than it was before you brought it to
me.

And if you want it fixed right, like it should have been the
first time, you're going to pay me *again* to do it.
You're better off letting me take a look at it, I'm the expert
here.
If you (a) knew what you were doing and (b) had the
knowledge/tools/equipment to fix it yourself, you wouldn't have
brought it to me.

And, if I used your parts, I don't have any warranty on them or
my labor. If the part is some cheap junk and doesn't last, that's
your problem. I installed it, as per your request, you provided
it. Done deal.

But, if you want to pay me twice to **** it up as you wanted and
then fix it, like it should be, I'm okay with that. I'll try to
discourage you from being so dumb about it, but I won't force you
not to. I like money well enough. Especially money you're going
to be giving me for being stupid. Sure.

And if you bring me the outright, totally wrong ****ing part to
install, it's billable time while you come and get this part and
bring me the right one, it sure the **** is. I've got other ****
to be doing and don't wanna be wasting time with this dumb ****
you're doing to try and save a dollar. And your equipment, that
you brought me, that you told me to only use your parts on is
taking up space in my building that could be making me money. You
will pay me for that time. The time I'm wasting with your
machine, because you brought me the wrong ****ing part for it the
first time around.

Go cheap, take shortcuts like you do, you pay more in the long
run. You're better off doing it right the first time.

You're half right and half wrong. You're not as bad as a certain
garage near me who refuses to take my own parts. They're not
doing very well anymore for some reason, it would seem bad reviews
can get out of hand :-)

I don't refuse to take parts from customers, and I rarely turn down
jobs. But, that being said, you sign a nice little contract saying
that you brought these parts; I'm not responsible for them in any way
shape or form. And, you'll pay me whether or not your diagnosis was
correct. I'll do as you hired me to do, but, if it doesn't work out,
you're still going to pay me for the job. And, you have thirty days
to do it. Or, your property becomes mine and I'll do as I please with
it.

On the other hand, If I provided you the diagnosis and used my parts,
I'm responsible for all of it for a full year from the time you leave
my shop with it, and some parts I use have an additional two or more
year warranty outside of my own direct from manufacturer.

But you're wrong about "cheap parts".

No, I'm not. I've had customers bring me some cheap, POS power
supplies instead of purchasing a much more reliable one from me. When
the power supply doesn't hold up or won't even power the machine on,
because it's pitiful wattage output isn't anywhere near what the
machine needs, I just laugh. I tell them what the problem is. And
offer them the choice of bringing me another power supply, or,
purchasing one I stand behind that I know will run the machine fine.

Either way, you're out some labor for the POS one you brought that
didn't work. So whatever money you thought you saved with that bad
decision on your part only put money in my pocket for turning four
screws and plugging in some cables, just to tell you what I already
knew and told you on the phone or in person before you did this
stupid ****; it's not going to work. But, thanks for the easy labor
bill. No, i'm not going to cut you a break on your bill; you're going
to be charged for my time to install the bad power supply and charged
again for installing a working one. The same rate, no less. Stupidity
doesn't deserve breaks.

Thanks entirely to you, I will charge you twice the amount what it
should have cost you. How's that for savings with the cheaper part?

They are the SAME parts most of the time.

Sometimes they are, most of the time, the customer thinks they got a
good deal on ebay and that's the part they bring me. I don't complain
too much for the aforementioned reasons; you want to give me more
money, I'll advise you once, I'm not going to argue with you. It's
your machine, I'll do the work you want done. And when it doesn't
work out like you hoped, you're going to pay me the full amount on
the invoice, or, i'll keep the machine for thirty days so you can
come up with it.

if you cannot do so within the thirty days, your property becomes
mine and I'll most likely strip it for parts and/or re-sell it as a
whole unit after data wiping to recoup lost funds from you not paying
me. You agree to this with your signature when you drop the machine
off for repair, or you don't leave it at my shop. No exceptions.

And in this state, I don't even need you to sign the paper for it to
be legal and hold up. You can even tell the judge you didn't see the
signs in the shop and nobody told you about our policies if you'd
like. It won't do you any good. You legally abandoned your property
after 30 days when you didn't come and pay for it! And that's exactly
what the judge will tell you. That and, btw, now you can pay for XXX
companies legal expenses and court costs. Have a nice day now.

Been there, done that.

A threat of a bad review if I don't do such and such for the customer
doesn't intimidate or otherwise force me into submission, either.
More and more people are starting to take reviews with a grain of
salt, doing their own due diligence rather than just taking another
strangers word online for something. Too many people just like you
made one too many fake or otherwise bull**** reviews to slime a
person and/or company and/or it's services. So now, more people opt
to double check those reviews and no longer blindly trust them.

And besides, I work in a competitive field where some people always
assume you're out to **** them over, like a shade tree mechanic. I'm
used to dealing with that aspect of the business too.

I've actually bought a brake caliper for £40
which was the SAME MAKE AND MODEL of part, but the garage said
they cost £150. Sure, they could get it in 2 hours, and I got it
in 2 days, but so what? Postage ain't THAT much! And, I have
never not once in my entire life had a part fail before it should
have. If it did, clearly I'd blame the part before I blamed the
fitter.

I have no markup on my parts. I use name brand stuff thats got a
decent warranty, so I can stand behind it for the full year I support
it, despite not making a dime on selling you the part itself. My
money comes from services, not parts. I couldn't compete with online
pricing anyway.

And I'll be damned if i'll take on any client who wants to play
'lets make a deal about what you're not going to charge me' in
person or over the phone. I don't like turning down jobs, but,
if you call or I meet you in person and I give you my rates
and/or an estimate and you come back at me with half price per
hour or some crazy nonsense, you are welcome to call and/or
speak with one of my competitors.

Ah, so you only take on the gullible people that will just give
you the inflated price you make up. You're a ****ing cowboy.

My price is fair. I'm not the cheapest here nor the most
expensive. I know what I'm worth and I charge accordingly.

There's a reason people get three quotes. I was once given a
quote of £7000 for some double glazing to my house. When I said
it was too much, he said "we could do it for £3500". I lost my
temper and told him to **** off out of my property, as he was
willing to charge me DOUBLE what was really required. I then got
it done by another company for £2100.

Not only will I give you a quote if asked, I'll be happy to look over
quotes you've already gotten for comparison too, if you'd like. I'll
tell you which is the better deal, even if mine is not. I want your
money, but I want your trust more so.

I don't want your first business encounter with me to be your last
one. I'd like to build a long lasting relationship, instead. So, even
if I couldn't help you that time, maybe you'll think about those
quotes and the conversation we had when/if you run into another
problem and you'll come see me again. And if you do, that gives me a
chance (just a chance at this point) to earn your business this time
around.

You're a liar, then. I've told you, many times, HHI does NOT
release torrents of any kind to any place. No group that I know
of who's 'scene' level does. There's another system in place
for the transportation to the masses. And, I wasted the time
more than once previously explaining that to you, as well. I
won't do so again.

There's HHI stuff on piratebay.

Yep, and many other places. HHI can't take any credit for that
though, it's all the work of the distro groups. HHI is fortunate
to be in their good graces. That's the transportation system I
mentioned ..*shrug*. Seriously, how can you not know any of this
and have eleven years experience in I.T? I don't understand that.

What you don't understand is you're ripping the music so I can get
it free.

Oh, heh, I do understand that. Quite well.

Yip, you're partly responsible for the free stuff.

I'm well aware of that.

You're "taking money from the artist" as David would say.

That's because David thinks the RIAA *IS* the artist(s). They aren't.
It's our intention and others like us to see that the RIAA dies out
like the dinosaur it is. We'll continue taking the RIAA's money for
as long as it takes until they cannot recover, buy more politicians,
and create more laws for their and theirs only benefit. **** the
RIAA. They are and have always been the real pirates. The ones who
are really against the artists. They get filthy rich while the people
who create the material do without.

Not me, I don't give a **** about the artist.

I doubt you give a **** about much of anything.

For free.

That's the idea.

And you linked to it

I did what?

"Linked to it". I am speaking English, right?

You are. But, I don't run any websites (unless my youtube channel
counts?) so how could I be linking to anything? I've got no site to
host any links with...Are you using the wrong terminology?

you personally sent the link for David to look at.

I've posted many links for david to look at over the years. I've
had the misfortune of knowing him for a long time now.

It's your own doing. If I was in your position, I'd just ignore
him. Why do you continue to communicate with someone you don't
like?

I did ignore him, initially. He tried to dox me for my trouble. I
can't ignore credible threats...It's never a good idea to ignore one
you have determined is a foe. It's always best to keep an eye on them
....so that you don't get any unwelcome surprises.

Had he not tried to dox me some years ago, I wouldn't have considered
him a threat or a problem of any kind; and I would have made what I
feel in hindsight would be a mistake, that is, to ignore him, to
dismiss him as some harmless usenet poster.

He's not harmless. And shouldn't be ignored.

The links are available with a simple google search. I just
shared some results with him.

You posted a link to an HHI file on piratebay.

Actually, David provided you a link to an HHI torrent on piratebay
with what he thought (you haven't confirmed or denied) the picture
you were asking about was included in.

Since I have a local copy of the entire archive, it wasn't hard to
get the file he asked about and post it for his/your review. Which is
what I did. Per his request.

That's piracy and I like it.

Rapists like sex, they get sex for free, they like it.

I understand your point but I'd wager that Commander Kinsey
has never raped anyone ....
.... nor written malicious code designed to cause
harm.

David, switch hands and find another horse. There isn't even
dust left. the malicious code you whine about is twenty years
old.

Yeah yeah, you're a different person now, we've heard it all
before.

Ayep. If you can find some malicious code I wrote that's newer

Otherwise, deal with the fact that I'm not the same person I was

You've said (since that 20 years) that virus writing is ok.

You seem to confuse legal with okay. I don't know if that's
intentional or a genuine mistake on your part.

Actually, no, it's not a threat. Especially when left in full

*** end snippit

Do you have intentions of seeking out HHI networks and attempting to
gain unauthorized access? If not, then you have nothing to worry
about concerning any blackhat retaliation. if you do, then I wouldn't
call it a threat of hacking, It would be a clear case of self
defense; you came without an invite to **** with our stuff, so we
****ed you two ways from sunday for your trouble. If you don't want
to get serious burns, don't jump into a raging fire. It's pretty
simple.

Something you er.... don't do or condone anymore?

I do condone education. I don't think anyone should drop out or
otherwise ****off, as you've clearly done during classtime. Your
reading comprehension is terrible.

Otherwise, deal with the fact that I'm not the same person I was
then. I've changed for what I believe to be the better, whether
you believe it or not.


Hmmmm, in your previous post you wrote:

"OTH, I do hope you took necessary precautions to protect
yourself from, heh, unwanted, large amounts of bandwidth capable
retaliation, full on, blackhat style."

So that would be a direct threat of hacking.Â* Something you
er.... don't do or condone any more?Â* Or have you forgotten you
"saw the light and became a good boy"?

That certainly *DID* sound like he was threatening to actually
hack into your personal computer. :-(

Hmm...

//In other words, raiding a member, taking all of his/her gear and
processing it will provide you nothing of value to be used against
the individual or the group itself. Likewise if you somehow managed
to locate and breach (at least you thought you did) one of our
network
entry points. You'd quickly be discovered and at no time would you
have any 'real' access to anything of value. OTH, I do hope you took
necessary precautions to protect yourself from, heh, unwanted, large
amounts of bandwidth capable retaliation, full on, blackhat style.//

Is the full text of what I wrote. Explain, in your own words, how
that is in any way a threat of ANY kind, David?

Will these words suffice?

"Dustin is actually threatening repercussions to Commander Kinsey if he
persists with his investigations into HHI. Solid confirmation that
Dustin is still in cahoots with real-life Black Hat Hackers and is still
a danger to everyone."

Be wary of Dustin.

Hey David, according to Paul I'm a 'garden variety troll' who doesn't
know a damn thing. And, according to nospam, I razzle dazzle with
buzzwords and bull****. Don't you trust their heh, expert opinions of
me? G

Paul is a nice guy - and mistaken in this instance.

I believe that he COULD do that if he set his
mind to it.

Impossible, David! I couldn't even pass an introductory class in
electronics - so sayeth nospam.

Maybe he's right. You'd probably try to 'wing it', IYKWIM

He's no doubt far better at it now than he was 20 years ago!

Impossible, David! I couldn't even pass an introductory class in
electronics - so sayeth nospam.

Nospam should pay attention to what I tell him.
